Every Ivy League school is dying to get minority students, but the sad thing is that they often fail -- because they are competing with the best white and asian students, who are smarter because they don't get minority treatment. Most of these minority students would be much better off if they went to lesser schools where the whites and asians are at the same level as they are.

Maybe I’ll change my kids names to things like Kwasi, or Kmbo so they can have a shot at an ivy league school.

but this particular student does not seem like most minority students... in fact, he does not seem like most white students... he could fare well... he is a triple threat... he has academics, athletics and the performing arts going for him... good on him :)
